The word decadence, which at first meant simply "decline" in an abstract sense, is now most often used to refer to a perceived decay in standards, morals, dignity, religious faith, or skill at governing among the members of the elite of a very large social structure, such as an empire or nation state. By extension, it may refer to a decline in art, literature, science, technology, and work ethics, or (very loosely) to self-indulgent behaviour.
Usage of the term frequently implies moral censure, or an acceptance of the idea, met with throughout the world since ancient times, that such declines are objectively observable and that they inevitably precede the destruction of the society in question; for this reason, modern historians use it with caution. The word originated in Medieval Latin (dēcadentia), appeared in 16th-century French, and entered English soon afterwards. It bore the neutral meaning of decay, decrease, or decline until the late 19th century, when the influence of new theories of social degeneration contributed to its modern meaning.

Episode One—Money:- Part one examines the growing greed of society and the 80's ideal that greed is good. It also looks at the growing disparity between rich and poor.
On December 30th and 31st 2013, we entered a playground most decadent to celebrate another year of life and dancing as Decadence expanded to two nights of madness. Held in the heart of downtown Denver at the Colorado Convention Center, Decadence NYE encompassed 600,000 square feet. Two pristine arenas were prepped for back-to-back nights of a wild dance party. Attendees were invited to end 2013 with a diverse and unparalleled array of world-class talent, sensational performers, exquisite décor, top-notch production and stunning visuals. Decadence will return as 2014 winds down. Stay tuned to http://decadencenye.com/ for info. https://www.facebook.com/DecadenceNYE https://twitter.com/decadencenye

In decadence
I'm speaking to myself again
Falter through these ruined years
My windows are red with tears
I'm passing through gaping doors
Through the aeons of my inner wars
This is the silence that never ends
It brought my sanity to decadence
These years of vanity's
Been breaking me down
My hands are shaking, my mind is aching
Lost in a trance
All downfalls they come in advance
Life is a deadly romance
But you might get fooled at first glance
I'm passing through aging halls
While I'm waiting for the curtain call
This vile anxiety
Brought here by you for me
This war, this war
This grave sobriety
Seems like it's killing me
This war, what for?
My world's on fire
State of denial
Sleepwalking souls
